(Redirected from List of Hinduism-related articles)

Hinduism is the predominant religion^[1] of the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism is often referred to as Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law", by its adherents.^[2] Generic "types" of Hinduism that attempt to accommodate a variety of complex views span from folk and Vedic Hinduism to bhakti tradition, as in Vaishnavism; Hinduism also includes yogic traditions and wide spectrum of "daily morality", based on the notion of karma and societal norms such as hindu marriage customs.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Hinduism:
